  • Installation Freedom: Brilliant for sites where traditional ducting is impossible or too expensive.
  • Filter Maintenance: Filters require regular cleaning and  replacement to maintain peak performance.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Full Plate Café" in a conservation area of Bath needed to upgrade its cooking line to handle a busier lunch service, but their Grade II listed status made external ducting impossible.

"We were stuck. We couldn't get planning for a normal extraction hood, which limited our menu. The Lincat SmartVent was the perfect solution. It’s quiet, incredibly effective, and  the council were happy. Our kitchen is now a much better place to work."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

The new setup allowed them to install a new griddle and  fryer, increasing their hot food output by 40% during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the wall is structurally sound and  can safely support the unit's 85kg weight.
  • Installation must be carried out by a qualified commercial kitchen engineer for safety and  compliance.
  • Position it directly above your heat source, following the manufacturer's height guidelines for maximum effectiveness.
  • Requires a standard 230V, 13-amp electrical connection, which should be easily accessible.

Keeping It Going

  • Remove and  clean the main grease filters regularly; many are dishwasher-safe for convenience.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a soft cloth and  a suitable food-safe cleaner.
  • Check the internal particulate and  carbon filters periodically and  replace them according to the manual's schedule.
  • Listen for any unusual noises and  check the fan and  LED lights are operating correctly as part of your weekly checks.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Kitchen Extraction System 1600mm

Not sure if this is the right ventilation for you? Here’s a quick rundown of what to consider.

Check Your Space

Measure your cookline. This 1600mm Lincat ventilation canopy 1600mm is designed for a typical 700 series medium-duty appliance setup.

Ducting or Ductless?

If you can't install external ductwork due to building rules or location, a filtration system like this is your best option.

Gas or Electric?

Ensure your chosen canopy is rated for your appliances. This model handily covers both gas and  electric, which is a huge plus.

Consider the Noise

A noisy kitchen is a stressful one. At just 62dB, this unit is quieter than a normal conversation, which your staff will thank you for.

Filter Maintenance

Recirculating systems rely on their filters. Be sure to factor in the simple routine of cleaning and  replacing them to maintain performance.

How Does a Ductless Extraction System Actually Work?

Ever wondered how a commercial extraction canopy hood can clean the air without an external vent? The secret is its multi-stage filtration process. Think of it like a high-tech sieve for your kitchen's air. First, it pulls all the steam, smoke, and  greasy air upwards into the unit. The air passes through a primary grease filter that catches the heavier particles, a bit like a colander draining pasta. Then, it moves through even finer filters that trap the tiny smoke and  odour particles. What comes back out into the kitchen is clean, fresh air, ready to be recirculated. It’s a complete, self-contained air-cleaning station right above your cookline, no external vents required.
